Tablets have surged in popularity recently, with Google's Nexus 7 and Samsung's Galaxy Tab 2 leading the way. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 10.1 is also on its way, but the older Galaxy Tab 7.7 is not to be forgotten. With a dual-core processor and a super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen, the Galaxy Tab 7.7 was one of the hottest tablets last year, and it still holds its own today, especially as it can now get a taste of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
